Bluetooth on mint 19.1

[dymenelo]

After upgrading to mint 19.1 I found out that my bluetooth is not working anymore but before after the upgrade it was working in 18.1 version not sure what's missing here all the drivers are present, blueman show the list of allowable devices but after pairing there's no notification that it was detected or paired.

Code: Select all

pactl list short | grep blue

shows "audio speakers" & "audio headphones" are present. Is it possible that my my bluetooth speaker is not compatible on this version?

Thanks in advance.

Find out which kernel version is used in 18.1, and use the same in 19. Use ukuu to install kernel , reboot to activate it.

Code: Select all

 uname -r

gives the running kernel.

Happened to me before almost give up on this one but googling around I found this long thread https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour ... ug/1577197 if you read more you'll see that you need to install the a2dp.py for me that's the solution work and I'm able connect my two bluetooth speaker boom2 and aomais speaker, code below is how I install it:

Code: Select all

wget https://gist.github.com/pylover/d68b...1b4b524364.zip
unzip d698974910bbb7d016ec0ad08c1bf41b4b524364.zip
mv ~/d68be364adac5f946887b85e6ed6e7ae-d698974910bbb7d016ec0ad08c1bf41b4b524364/a2dp.py .a2dp.py
chmod +x a2dp.py

After you pair the device run this:

Code: Select all

./a2dp.py

That's it, that's the solution work on me, hope it works with everyone.

You can see if this helps. Run in the terminal apt install pulseaudio-module-bluetooth followed by pactl load-module module-bluetooth-discover

You may need to remove the device and connect/pair again.
